Privacy Protocol Veil.Cash Begins Wind-Down, Deposits Disabled

The notable detail is the exit timeline: deposits stop now, but the frontend and relayer stay live until Dec. 21, 2026, with CLI withdrawals as the backstop afterward. That structure suggests an orderly shutdown rather than an abrupt rug, though the absence of any stated reason leaves the credibility question unresolved. For users, the practical test is whether relayer access holds through the deadline and whether CLI withdrawal is genuinely usable for non-technical holders. Whether other privacy protocols face similar pressure — or whether this is project-specific — is the open question worth watching.
